Allan and Raye Ellam

Allan and Raye Ellam were responsible for collecting a vast amount of material, which they had on display at their residence in suburban Perth for many years, including photos and information gathered about men in the 11th Battalion Cheops photo.

It was Allans ambition to honour the memory of the men in the photo through the Ellam-Innes Collection, and to name as many men as possible.

Allan Ellam is pictured here with his Cheops photo c.a. July 2006.

The Ellam-Innes Collection

Allan and his wife Raye (nee Innes) had in their possession photos, letters and other material collected over many years.

Allan gifted the collection to the Princess Royal Fortress Military Museum, Forts Road, Mt Clarence, Albany after the death of his wife Raye. The Cheops photo, and other items in the Ellam-Innes collection are on display at the Museum.
